Count Leo Tolstoi b,? died peacefully. The countess Tol- j w' P sti, Dr. Makivelsky and other at-;W( tending physicians were at his side ; |n . when the end came. It was recog- , >n uized long before that his case was iia hopeless and at 5 o'clock in the j1,1 morning after the Countess had been summoned and the other mem-1"1 bers of the family had gathered in ar an adjoining room, the physicians issued a bulletin, announcing that j K' the activity of the heart had almost j S? ceased and that Tolstoi's condition : ^ was extremely dangerous. j Several of the physicians were Ini; greatly overcome by the approach in | | * death of Russia's great writer. Tol- 'T stoi, accompanied only by Dr. Mako- ! to , "elsky left his home for the purpose of .finding his days in solitude to | to which he more and more inclined tu during his latter years. I cb Learning that his retreat had;?f been discovered, he insisted upon ! T1 proceeding on his journey to the Caucasus, where he hoped to spend th his last days close to the TolstoianJ^n colony on the shores of the Black n,( Sea. But during the railroad jour- ja^ ney he was overcome with exhaus- j br tion and the cold, and Dr. Mako- I *'1 \elsky was compelled to have him transferred to the flag station at , ^ Astapova where he was made as W comfortable as possible in the rude , a wooden building. wl For five years he has been ?uiienng nrst rrom orononitis and m later from inflamation of the lungs. 1 dr Specialists were called from Moscow P" and o^her places but notwithstand- , ha ing their utmost efforts the heart i wl of the great Russian responded but ; >b feebly to the restoratives and I stimulants administered. he Count Lyof Nikolaivitch Tolstoi, ' th usually called Count L<eo Holstoi, wi novelist and social reformer, was ; wt born August 28, 1828, at Yasiaya , sp Polonia, in the Province of Tula, ; Of Russia. When 23 years old Tolstoi 1 m< entered the army and served in the , wl Caucasus and in defense of Sebasto- uy pol against the British und French allien forces. He first made a repu- j ki tation in literature by a series of w? vivid sketches written from Seb- th astopol and when he left the army i I i soon after the Crimean war he de- an voted himself entirely to literature, se wl A Thrifty Farmer. wa O II The thrift and industry of Noah .. Bethea, a tenant on Dr. Stack-, house's Col. Stackhouse place, four j miles from town, is an example of , nj( what a man of moderate means can j do on a farm. Noah is an Indus- f trtous farmer and his bank account ... is growing every year. This year he made 22 bales of cotton on 20 ( . acres and with little effort made 114 bushels of corn on two acres. He gives close attention to his farm out ut the name time he finds spare | en moments to devote to side crops. He i lev sent The Herald office five sweet potatoes weighing about 5 pounds cij 'each and he told Mr. Hubbard that Ur if he had time to go down into the on potato bank that he would be able ' ci to show some much larger ones. In 4, addition to his excellent crops Noah will make this year 1,200 pounds , of meat. He keeps out of debt, de- in, votes all of his time to him farm, ; we lives economically and is a peace- rlr able and law-abiding citizen. ^Noah w 1 iX setting a? worthy example toNrth-iM': /er^raembers of his race. \\ / ' 0 \\ Mi Saw the Airships. \\l01 Rov. W. C. Kirkland was a specsjS^1 tator at the great aviation meet in Baltimore last week and he had an opportunity to see the great won- f?' ders of the 20th century in actual Hi practice. Curtis, L<etilanc, Wright; and all the other great man-birds.a were there with their machines and j co some wonderful heights were attain- IU ed during the Dractiee Mr Kirk- : land says it was the most wonderful th( sight he had ever witnessed. The great machines rise into the air as *?' i gracefully as birds and they seem 'C1 to be under the most perfect con- thl trol. Dr, Kirk land was very much impressed with the sight and he is ot of the opinion that in a w:i very short while the aeroplane will be used in transport- V*' iug the mails and for other commer- de cial purposes. He thinks it is a saf- wc er machine than the automobile, provided it is not driven to a dangerous altitude. If it is kept a rea- ' scnably safe distance from the earth and an accident should happen to any of the machinery the engines ''/ v \ can be stopped and the machine will \ Ngllde to the earth like a bird. / \.
